Fireworks KAL Resources
Welcome to the Olive Knits Fireworks KAL with Knot Another Hat! We are so excited to have you here with us and interested in knitting a two-color version of this great pattern.
We have just a couple of ground rules here:
- First and foremost, if you have questions specific to our two-color version, please do not contact the Olive Knits team for help. They are very busy, and I promised that my two-color hack wouldn't create extra work for them! So, just reach out to us with questions related to two colors.
- This modification is for intermediate-plus to advanced knitters only - if this is your first, or near-to-first sweater project, this is not the time to try out this mod. As this is a Knit-a-long (KAL), and not a paid class, we are happy to offer up our video tutorials and our tips and tricks, but we cannot give the full support that a paid class would offer.
Let's get knitting! Our first Zoom meetup is June 29th at 4:30pm, followed by July 2nd at 12:30, and July 6th at 4:30 (all times Pacific). You will receive the zoom meeting links on the morning of the meetings.
Below you will find our technique videos related to our version, as well as replay video links for our Zoom meetings. We will be adding videos throughout the KAL, so check back often for updates.
Happy knitting!
